CLP - you were in my neck of the woods - hope you likes it - and didn't get caught in all the accidents this morning

It is great to be surrounded by good influences! I feel the same way about my husband...we are the fire in each other's bellies! Feeling very loved up now...trying to find a love themed song for ARF...Your Smiling Face by James Taylor is my suggestion!

I proposed to my man after two weeks - I knew he was the one

he propsed to me after 6 years - obviously it takes him longer to make up his mind

Agree totally. Never any doubt. I used to think this "you'll know when you meet the right one" was total propaganda but I knew straight away. Trouble was, with my first husband I didn't know that was what you were supposed to feel like!
We are having Frank Sinatra "It had to be you" at our wedding.

I think fate has something to do with finding the right person me and Mr egg although from opposite ends of the country practically followed each other around in our childhood, i had a "nerve thing at work", left for a completely different job, met Mr. Egg, then dream job came up in an sector that would not have conincided with Mr. Egg's. It was like our worlds collided at just that point in time.

Ahhh sweet! well actually quite freaky when you get into the details - some of our ancestors would have known each other (Weird!)

hear hear Christophe....MrsW def the one for me, knew straight away the moment I clapped eyes on her

KWx

butterflies were so big I needed a net!

Gingembre, are you talking in code?

I was living with someone when I met Mr Diva (had been for 6 years). Suddenly, I too had butterflies, the skies were brighter (it was August!!), music was louder, I lost over half a stone coz I couldn't eat anything ..... I knew in an instant that this long haired, blue-eyed geezer was gonna be mine.

We saw each other in secret but after about 10 days I came clean to Old One and we split up.

That was in August 1994. We wed in May 1996. And haven't had a crossed word since.

And the best bit? Every night when I drive home, those butterflies are still in my tummy. We still greet each other with a hug and enjoy every second of each other's company.

Great innit!?!?

morning all,

I knew the future mr dragon was the one for me, it just took him 8 years to get down on bended knee!

ARF for tomorrow pleasepleasepleaseplease can we have I like to boogie - T-Rex, or as usual, Europes Final countdown?

Dragonxx

My ARF for this week:-

Unbelieveable - EMF

Thanks CLP.

Cheryl The Diva xxxxx

I still get excited driving home to mr bp - thinking about him makes me smile

I've still not found the one but I'd say I've still got a fair bit of time to find her.

ARF - The Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive

ARF - come up and see me (make me smile) - steve harley

in honour of all the happy couples looking forward to spending the weekend together

I've recently broke up with my girlfriend of 6 years and moved back to my parents. Good move at the time but as time goes on i've started to have my regrets... Mainly due to the fact I'd recently been seeing someone else but just didn't work out the way I thought it might, which leads me to the question of how do you know when you've met 'the one'?

In saying that I'm only 25 and have no intentions of settling down but can't help the instinct within forever searching for that special someone..

I must be getting old!!

Beesmum xxx

Seriously Tomgriff and Wilebored - far far too young - ages to go yet.
First was a big mistake huge huuuuge mistake - don't go there!!!
I was 34 before I got caught again!!!

Steve :-D

OH yes and it doesn't always happen as above - thought my "present one" was right queer when first met!!!

Beesmum xxx

The rose tints are still there Steve!!

Beesmum xxx

Memo to all on FB

Shiver me timbers .......

xxxxx

Rose Tint My World - Rocky Horror Show cast recording!

CtD - thats hilarious!!!

aaarrrrrrrrr

dragonxx

I was in a relationship of 4 years when i met my hubby at my parents Pub.

We have been together 20years now and married for 12 on Sunday.

Been blessed with a beautiful and thoughtful daughter.

Still love him to bits like the day we first met. I too had the butterflies and still do.

My ARF: Love is in the air.

M.xx

Have a look at the webcam...

Chris has shirt on that Noel Edmonds would be proud of!!

my ARF Stiff Little Fingers - Suspect Device

Steve :-D

I'm sure my Mum had curtains like the shirt Chris is wearing *blank look*

Steve :-D

CtD where? cos i can't find what ya typing about :(

steve :-D

Steve - that shirt is like the curtains I ripped down the minute I saw them in place I was moving in to!!!

Beesmum xxx

SJF - will send you the link. ;-)

Good job he never got me to sing on air . . . . i'm only anygood whilst singing Ace Of Spades by Motorhead (mainly cos i can't be heard) :-D

there's a game that allows you to sing on one of the games platforms . . . .. i'm hopeless at it i keep getting TONE DEAF :(

*sigh* one day . . .. . ONE DAY

Steve :-D

Well THAT killed the blog :(

Steve :-D

Steve

Next year - X-Factor auditions. Sonny and Cher??

LOL xx

Had a horrible drive home tonight. How can so many temporary road works spring up during one day on one route?? And THEN I got stuc behind a flippin' bus.

Grrrrr

CtD xxx

CtD,

No chance i wouldn't even get as far as the audition section thats how bad i am :( not even me muvva loves me when i sing *sigh*


Cracking Gob smacker . . . .. . . TCM - The Jam woooohooooooooooooooooooooo


Steve :-D

I had that played as an ARF opener a few weeks ago.

Quality!

Being dreadfully bad could be a blessing. You'd get on the Worst Of DVD and then get repeat fees every time it's shown as a compilation clip. You win the X-Factor and nobody ever hears of you again!

Evening each

Romance - ahhhhh - so sweet.

My real world: Humungous dehumidifier in kitchen, plus another humungous blower thingy. Two (yes 2) squares the size of paving stones cut out of the floor (I shudder to think what's down there). My spider catcher is to hand just in case!

Bought a microwave meal on the way home and only just managed to insert myself into the kitchen to heat it up. Next problem is how to get to the sink to wash the plate.

Off to Newcastle tomorrow till Sunday. If the whole place blows up with all these electrical thingys, I don't give a toss.

Anne xx

CtD,

I like ya thinking . . .. . *makes note to self to apply for next X-Idol thingymajig.

AnnieG,

GL in Newcastle :) Hope ya have fun ;)

Steve :-D

Steve: Thank you. Can't wait to get away from the kitchen horror. Just trying to work out a route to the sink.

BUT have my bottle of red to hand thank god.

xxxx

Btw: Are you a footie fan??

I get the impression that Newcastle are not good at the moment. At the Aletaster in Gateshead, the boys are in Newcastle and Sunderland camps. Should I comment? Or should I say nothing and nod and smile?

xxxx

nicked me post :(

Chrissy Bby

Danny Boy . . .

I just read your post . . .

some people are so darn lucky - forget about wealth, houses, status etc etc, the warmth of a loved one would do it for me every time - were I to be so lucky . . .

tears, eyes closed . . .

ARF:

Friday I'm in love the Cure

PS going speeddating tomorrow nite . . .hmmmm . . . .

Ahhh Dan, don't cry. There's someone out there for you, don't worry.

xxxx

If tomorrow doesn't work, book a holiday in May and come and join the girls in Scotland. You just never know!!!!!

xxxx

2 secs and Mr B will be back from horspital visit - starving.
Wotcha annie as soon as eaten will catch up on games but there are several just sitting there waiting for you!

Dan sweetie dont cry - take Annies adcice - Scotland next May - Diva and Annie and Lisa and ??? will be there to give big hug

Beesmum xxx

he's back im off

ARF?




29 Palms - Robert Plant.

Not only is it a fab tune, it is an amazing place. Just on the edge of The Joshua Tree National Monument, California. I couldn't put my finger on why, but when I was there I found the place very spiritual. If you are ever driving out to Vegas from San Diego (or LA), take the scenic route and pass through Joshua Tree. You will not regret it.

Oh, and if you see Gram Parsons, tell him I said hi.

Peace

MfR

Matt, I'll second you on Robert Plant, although probably never going to get to California. I'll probably fall through the hole in the floor and be found at a later date as a skeleton with an empty bottle of red clutched in my mitt.

xxxx

My god Annie do not comment on ANYTHING to do with football if it involves Sunderland and Newcastle. Certainly don't suggest they should all make friends. And wear something neutral. Something nice in beige or green. Re. kitchen - keep your eye on the goal!

Sorry Dan if the soppy posts made you feel bad. Good luck for tomorrow, and to cheer you up I am going to back your ATF choice - The Cure, Friday I'm in love please CLP.

Nighty night

A x

I mean ARF

Boleyngirl: Just chased a MASSIVE spider with the catcher thingy. This hole in the floor is going to give me nightmares - praps I'll stay up all night, armed with spider catcher.

Although, I have to say, the hole in the floor is the size of a paving stone, so any amount of humungous beasties could be invading.

Will take your advice tomorrow night and smile nicely at everyone. Absolutely no mention of Newcastle or Sunderland. My boys are lovely, though, so nice and handsome. They are all friends of my brother and make me feel so welcome. And they tell me about their love life!!

xxxxx

Off to iron something beige

Bono Noches

Joshua Tree BEST u2 Album really.



Still for ARF could I have Tiger Feet by Mud ... no


Seal-Crazy. Suppose we all are a little crazy sometimes.


PP

That's better I was famished!

Prof - you feeling alright? taking the wrong pills? Don't understand? although its prob me! btw your rubber dolly on prev blog - tea on screen!

Beesmum xxx

Yeah! DtM for Scotland next May!!

Good luck with the speed-dating!!

Annie have some advice again - boring old f** I am - will put on fb inabit.

I was always under the impression spiders liked dry places but my argument has always been why the heck do they appear in bathrooms then!

BM xxx

Hi Diva - just eaten and am bursting! Mr B came back with hilarious stories from hosp. shame really but you've got to laugh!

BM xxx

Hey Annie that's spooky, a giant spider was found in our front room justa few minutes ago.
They're all in there playing Donkey Kong on an original 90s Nintendo machine. Just been in to watch, but it's a bit stressful for me, all those alligators.

A x

B's Mum

Oh dear no I only take Anadin extra in emergencies.

MFR was showing off again about his travesl and mentioned the Joshua Tree which happens to be the best U2 album hence bono etc.

I have travelled quite a bit but people genarally are bored by hearing about it.
So I say nothink.


PP

Boleyngirl: Spooky indeed. Am so paranoid I got the builder guys to look into the humungous hole in the floor to check for mice/spiders. He said - no, not there, but there's a couple of alligators.

Right - I'm up all night with mob wars armoury to hand.

xxxx

oops travels

Hey B-sMum - don't go bursting - you'll make a mess!

Hope B-sDad is okerydokery after hopitool vsit ...?

Bed in a bit. Mr Diva on 4.45 alarm tomorrow - booooooooooooooooo!

PP - yep, Joshua Tree fantastic album. Also Live At Red Rock: love U2 but never seen them live :-(

Talking of LIVE ...... Love Muscle Russell tix on sale 9.30 am tomorrow morn ..... may not get muchos shut-eye tonight!!! Will be a complete nightmare until January if I get tix!!! We could be talking restaining orders here gang .....

... will you bail me out???

Sorry, don't think Matt was showing off at all, just making a comment.

PP: how many coats do you have? You're always promising to put them on and leave.

Well Annie whats your problem ? you know what this is a public blog so I might just hang around

Or do I have to ask your permission to blog?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

** tippy-toeing off to hide under a table **

Always someone on here winding me up ... why.. I can tell you to make me look the bad guy...

Well sorry not going to fall into that trap.

I am a nice normal person that likes a laugh .

So BAG lady have a good evening.



PP

PP: No problem at all. Just don't like people who snipe. What is their problem??

In the immortal words of Lindisfarne...

Here we go again.

Have a great weekend Annie.


A x

You are the one that is snipping it's crazy on here. People start arguments then turn it round to the innocent bystander.

Hilarious.

If you mean MFR well strikes me as as a bit full of himself but thats just an observation .

Awww. Matt's lovely.

Sorry.

Actually, by the way, I do have a lot of BAGS. You know the ones you get from all the supermarkets now to re-use? I have a huge pile in the boot of my car and keep forgetting to use them - so I keep having to buy new ones.

Praps I need to car boot a sale of BAGS!!!!

xxxxx

Boleyngirl: Sorry, didn't reply. I will have a great weekend with all my friends in Newcastle/Gateshead.

You too. xxxxx

Right. 22.00 Hrs. If I don't go up them stairs now I will turn into a screeching haridan tomorrow.

But then, what's new!!!

Annie - have a fantastic time in NewCastle, like!

Sweet dreams one and all.

CtD xxx

Thanks Cheryl, I will. Family and friends waiting to have a party.

xxxxx

Good weekend folks.

Night night.

Any night owls around??

Can I have Lifted by The Lighthouse Family for ARF?

I have some really nice music from Icehouse, Queensbury Rules and Mike Oldfield but no one knows who they are *boo hoo*

Been really busy and travelling around Dorset like nothing these past few days.

Sat - Shaftesbury
Sunday - Southbourne
Tuesday - St Leonards
Wed - Gillingham
Thurs - Shaftesbury
Fri - Poole
Sat/Sun - W-S-M to see mummy

I've had a fair few failed relationships and 4 engagement rings (not boasting) but never married - should have but relationships end last one was a one line email not pleasant and not wished on anyone. I still believe there is someone out there for me so DtM, Tom and Wile keep trying.

I miss all our conversations but it just isn't possible to take part during the day anymore and I am currently still fielding the cat off the laptop as it is warm and he wants to sit on it *paws off mink*.

Pheonix people are so spaced out on here they think it's Friday already.. wishing each other a good weekend.

Hiya Pulm how's the other side of the harbour doing today?

Well what can one say..

How's JPM?

Very busy as usual - nice views from the top floors. Do you take your boat out of the mooring over the winter and get it serviced or does it stay at the yacht club mooring all year round - curious

Seen that the pig pen next to the lifting bridge is missing yet - a new one will be coming in to replace it as the new ILB doesn't fit the old one.

Bad news is coming from the city so watch out.

As for boats well mine is moored in Majorca .. well One can dream can't one.


PP

As I'm off tomorrow I'm wishing everyone a good weekend. I'll be travelling down the A68 from Edinburgh to Newcastle to see my elderly family.

So, everyone I care about - have a GREAT WEEKEND. xxxxxx

Keeping a wary eye on it. Was offered a fixed rate mortgage of 5.59% for next two years so getting the paperwork to check it out.

So what do you do for a living or are you one of life's easier earners having made your money able to live on the interest?

Hey Annie,

Thought you had disappeared off up those stairs - enjoy your trip.

Phoenix

Phoenix: Thanks so much. Will be off up the rickety rackety stairs very soon, but am too scared to leace the HUGE hole in the kitchen floor.

A bit of a dilemma here!!!!

xxxx

Someone give me strength! dotty phone calls at this time of night - all sent to try I guess!

Nite Annie - have a great week-end we always try and get away on a Friday for our weekends away but goodness knows when next one will be now!

Hi Phee - take it from me - sometimes better off on own or with drop in friends you can say tata to!!!

Prof - told you to take your pills- wot you cross for now! and I still don't understand blog 50.
Am losing the will!

Evening - Bsmum, nope, not in the big metal birdie yet. we leave late tonight so got another couple of hours to run round the house wondering what I've forgotten to pack, or do in the house!!! land around lunch time tomorrow back in blighty - assuming the airports sort out their traffic control issues!!!

Dragonxx

Dreamer, Dragon: Good evening.

Starting Tony Hawks book 'A Piano in the Pyrenees'. Looking good!!!!

xxxxxx

Aaaargh dreamer have ordered dvd with every little helps now I know! boo hoo!will still watch anyway! delivered tom!

Dragon - dipstick I am - I forget time lapse - traffic control - not too bad with metal birds landing - slight delay 90 seconds instead of usual 60 seconds or something stupid like that!! the problem is over flying high ones making sure they send them off in right direction so you should be alright!

Beesmum xxx

Heading to bed too...reading 'reading lolita in tehran' Hard going but painful enough to keep me working at it....enjoy the 'piano in pyrenees' also sounds like a toughie!

Dreamur: Piano in the Pyrenees not tough at all. Tony Hawks is a very funny man. Not too far into the book and have already had a few 'hee haw' moments.
